Hello List!
I know that the French contract Unimogs used the "roadster" type cab top and appear to have the drop side beds on the cargo/troop trucks but that's all I know about them* Are there any other neuances that set them apart from the Belgian or German 404s? Thanks.
Regards,
Matt

Was curious to know if anyone on here has used the wagner (or other brand) airless spay guns that are sold in the big box stores for painting a vehicle? I've used them to paint a house but not a vehicle. When I had access to one, I was using a pnumatic spray gun & got great results with it...
Guys
Well, I guess I could (or should) have posted this in the M715 & WC forums as well considering the tire size.
I was wondering where is everyone getting their 9:00X16 NDT tires (& tubes) these days? It's been a very long time since I needed any but now that...
Anyone on here have any experience with the Steyr Puch/Mercedes G Wagon 230GEs? Swiss Army Vehicles sells them. Kind of remind me of a "Euro-CUCV". Are they any good?

Hey guys
I've found an M101(A1?) trailer that is for sale close by. It appears to be in pretty good shape with a solid bed floor (wood for racks & bows will need replacing) and no serious rust/rot. The tires & rims appear to be 9:00X16 NDTs from an M37. It has the...
Hey
I was going to post this in the "5 ton mod" forum but thought that it really didn't fit so then I was going to post it in the "Conversations" forum until I found the "guntrucks" forum which is probably where this belongs.
I was originally looking at images of M923 trucks (to see what one...
Hey guys!
Was curious as to the difference in size between the old M54 5 tons and the newer 800 (& 900) series trucks. I don't have one to do a side by side comparison but it seems to me that the later trucks are much bigger machines. Sorry if this is posted in...
Hello
Has anyone on here ever re-painted a bridge weight limit plate? I need to know what shade of yellow that is.
The AFV I'm restoring has it's bridge plate painted directly on the hull...
Deuce jockys,
I was wondering about this, and thought "there's no better group to ask" so here it is: Does the hard top on an M35 really reduce the noise inside the cab all that much compared to a soft top? how about the insulated soft tops...
Hey everybody!
A fellow I converse with, on another MV site claims to have been a motorpool mechanic on mutts in the USMC. I have no reason to doubt him although some stuff he's told me doesn't exactly jive with what I know about the military (my own time in...
Hey!
Ok I don't have any pictures of an M54 for you to look at because I'm not looking at a specific truck! That being said, I wanted to get the opinions of SS members on this: With the military dumping all of the 800 & 900 series 5 ton trucks, Does this have (if...
Hello
I really like the look of the 5 ton combat rims on the 800 & 900 series 5 tons. Do they make that type or rim (bolt together) for the M35 deuce...
Hey everyone!
I was wondering what a WC51 might weigh if it is missing it's engine, transmission, front bumper & gussets and it's rear bumperettes? The reason I ask this is it will determine what mode of transport I use to get this potential "jem"...
Fellows -or Dodgemen!( if you prefer)
My M151A1 restoration project is nearing completion and I'm starting to look around for another project. The MV I did before this current one, was a '44 WC51 and that was a 5 year frame off total resto. around the same time...
